Ben's Birthday!

Benjamin celebrated his 15th birthday on the 27th of August. We enjoyed setting a day aside to celebrate that Ben is a part of our family, and to tell him how we saw him mature in the last year.
 As usual we had him pick a special activity to do on his birthday. He decided to visit the Focus on the Family visitor center. It was a very neat place! It was geared more toward younger kids rather than older but, we all had a lot of fun :). Below are some pictures.
